Confucius' Home Destroyed.

A recent conflagration in a remote
Chinese village destroyed the ancestral
home of the family of Confucius with
all its contents, texts on stone, COM

and alabaster, priceless jars of por-
celain. jewels and precious metal work;
in brief one Of the most remarkable
literary and artistic museums in the
world, containinga as il did nearly every
extant memorial of the great teacher.
In that building, erected about 600 B.
C., generation after generation, the
male heirs of the Chinese philosopher
have dwelt in unbroken line for two
thousand five hundred years, bearing
the title Of Dukes. With every other
family in China n nobleman's rank
must always be lower than that of his
ancestors, for no true Confucian would
presume TO stand higher than his
grandfather. father or his elder brother.
In the illustrious "House OF Confucius, -"
however, the lofty title of Duke passes
unchanged, except when Emperor after

Enjoyment and Amusement.

There is a radical difference between
enjoyment and amusement He whose
chief efiortin life is to be amused, gen.
orally failsto find much real enjoyment;
while he whose life is most truly joy
GUS seldom feels the want of amuse-
ment True joy is a serious matter, "
says Seneca; but it is more serious
matter TO be so in need of real Joy that
one must be habitually seeking amuse-
ment as source of that joy, or
as a substitute for it. We must first SEQ
the serious side of life before we can
enjoy life.-S. s. Times.

Il he Day of Blooms.

booms, not only in the Northwest, but all
through the South, at Nashville, Atlanta.
Birmingham, Louisville. all around. there
seems to be general aggregation of bOoms.
Birmingham, Ala, seems to be somewhat
IN the lead. correspondent of the Chi
cago Inter Ocean. who has been all through
the south, has recently written letter to
that paper describing just how the boom
business is carried on, and in doing this,
speaks rather disparagingly of the ability of
Col. James II. Davidson, of st. Paul, and
Mayor Harrison, of Chicago. He says that
in Birmingham ont of the 33, 900 pOpula-
ton, there is one real estate dealer to every
one hundred citizens. Property in the
heart of the city of Birmingham, he writes
is worth from 81. 900 to S15, 900 per front
foot. Here in st. Paul. in city four
times as large as Birmingham. only two
pieces have ever been sold for $1,000, and
but one piece in the city is held at SIS, 600.
Notwithstanding. property is held at that
price in Birmingham it is still advancing,
while acre property lying five and six miles
out of Birmingham is selling right along
for $1,000 and $1,000 per acre. The fol-
lowing is what the writer had to say about
Col. Davidson.
Further visits to the brokers-as polite and
shrewd body of gentlemen as their Chicago
compeers-showed the same situation of
busting activity, every caller being immedi-
ately taken for an intending purchaser and
each tempting Offering of foundry site, fur
mace, bast-mill Or building lot being painted
a gorgeous red-in fact the whole town ia
that way, well verbally as in the fiamboy-
ant bills framed in hard wood. For Lake-of-
Como panegyrics in regular Claude Melnotte
style, the Birmingham broker when fully
fired to his subject, can give point even to
Col. Davidson, of the Twin Cities, MINNEAPOLIS
and st. Paul, or Mayor Harrison himself. and
the Chicago real estate board would do well to
secure him early for the next annual ban
9uet.
A few weeks ago the boom business
made landing at Duluth and got good
foothold. and people fiocked there from all
the regions around, and prices of real es-
tate went up at rapid rate. People in st.
Paul and Minneapolis increased their
wealth at prodigious rate. From Duluth
it went to Ashland and there on to Sauit
Ste Marie, where it now is in its height. 1t
is predicted by many that a very large city
will be built there and all the week train
